Improve Blood Flow with Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Oriental system where energy or Qi flows along pathways called meridians. Energy moves the carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors as well as organ malfunction causes the blood to stagnate and this results in energy blockages. Acupuncture can help.

At Genuine Care, our acupuncturist will analyze your needs and provide you with individual recommendations. Our corrective care aims to eliminate or reduce the cause that brought you to us and give you relief.

What is Qi?

Scientifically speaking, Qi a vibration. It’s a quantum oscillation on a system of meridians that is mapped throughout the human body. These oscillations become imbalanced and the Qi becomes blocked.

Blocked Qi / Malfunction

Blocked Qi and stagnant blood create disease, sickness, and malfunction in organs, tissues, and cells. The possible reasons WHY your Qi will be blocked, or will stagnate, could be because of an emotion imbalance, the food we eat (food has Qi), changes in the weather or seasons, our environment, medications and injury.

Flowing Qi / 100% Function

When there is smooth flow of Qi and ample blood perfusing organs, tissues, and cells we have health and 100% function.

Auriculotherapy: Enkephalins and Endorphins Therapy

The Chinese treated the ears with acupuncture, the ancient Egyptians used it and the French since the 18th century have discovered that Auriculotherapy relieves pain and corrects physiology.

By using an electrical unit designed specifically to stimulate ear points, endorphins and enkephalins are released, which create a sense of wellbeing and return the body to a state of balance. It aims at treating the cause rather than the symptoms. No needles are used. Most people experience a tingling sensation at the ear points during the treatment and there are no side effects.
